Breathing is often treated as the foundation of singing — yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood parts of vocal training.

In this featured lesson segment, Lynn Helding challenges common breathing cues and replaces them with a clear, science-informed view of how respiration actually functions in the singing voice.

By focusing on rib cage movement, posture, and abdominal flexibility, this segment helps singers understand how breath works as a coordinated system rather than a single muscle to control. The result is a more reliable, efficient approach to breath that supports expressive singing without added tension.

This lesson segment is part of the 4 hour, in-depth Science-Informed Voice Training course on tonebase Voice. It offers a practical entry point for singers who want clarity, not confusion, when it comes to the breath.
